James Rodriguez’s future impacts Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech

Questions about James Rodriguez’s future at Everton have only ramped up since the exit of Carlo Ancelotti, and in the introduction of Rafa Benitez.

Corriere Dello Sport (via Sport Witness) report that while James is a target for AC Milan, the Rossoneri may try to sign Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech instead.

Milan believe that they have a better chance of signing Ziyech from Chelsea as James Rodriguez’s wage demands are too high.
